Video Email - Talk Fusion - 04/19/09 11:14 PM
I just joined Talk Fusion, a service which allows its users to send streaming video email in just a few short and simple steps. All you have to do is log into your account, click the create a video tab, look into your web cam (provided by Talk Fusion), and hit the send button when you're done.

Deed-in-lieu Of Foreclosure - Another Alternative To Foreclosure - 04/19/09 11:08 PM
It's yet another alternative to foreclosure. One that I don't really recommend... instead I would recommend a shortsale. Click here to learn about shortsales and how you can benefit from them if you're considering the Deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
You may be able to deed the property to your lender/servicer and avoid a lengthy foreclosure. This would help to keep away from a long-lasting foreclosure. For information on how this will disturb your credit rating, consult an independent tax advisor. This alternative sends to the credit bureau that the economic condition was mitigated. If accepted, the Deed-in-Lieu documents will be forwarded to … (1 comments)

How To Stop / Avoid The Foreclosure Wave Heading Our Way - In Any State - 04/19/09 10:59 PM
Determing what stage in the process you are in is the key!
Here are your TOP 5 options:
Forbearance- Your mortgage company may be able to arrange a repayment plan, to repay your debt over an extended amount of time, based on your financial situation. (I'll help to see if you qualify). Loan Modification- You may be able to modify the terms of your mortgage loan by lowering the rate, extending the term, or capitalizing the interest. This may help you catch up, and sometimes reduce your monthly payments to a more affordable level. (I'll help to see if you qualify). … (0 comments)

Movie Review - Seance - 04/19/09 10:54 PM
From the moment this flick started I knew it was going to suck... Boy was I right!!!
The group of victims here are college students in a broken down college dorm. After holding a séance they "accidentally" release the ghost of a serial killer... the former janitor. Must I go on??
I should have left this one on the shelf. The flick was cheesy and the cinematography was probably the worst I've seen.
Do yourself a favor and skip this one altogether!
This flick wasn't worthy of trailer... so I didn't post one.

Movie Review - Revolver - 04/19/09 10:47 PM
"Dangerous combination... chess and cons," ponders Jake Green (Jason Statham) in Revolver. This flick was a thinker. I like it when a movie throws out a challenging, confusing plot that introduces you to a group of seemingly unrelated puzzle pieces then, by the end, surprises you by revealing how they are all interrelated. The acting, the mind games, and the way it all fit together in the end was brilliant. Jason Statham is playing a different character this time and he has HAIR! Andre Benjamin was also a very pleasant surprise. He did a great job.
At first glance, "Revolver" has … (0 comments)

Movie Review - The Water Horse - 04/19/09 10:37 PM
This is a flick that invites comparison to "E.T." The movie centers on Angus, a 12-year-old boy who is the son of a housekeeper, Anne MacMorrow living in a luxurious manor in a Scottish village in the midst of World War II. When he discovers a mysterious rock on the beach and peels it, what hatches is a dragon-like creature he names Crusoe that rapidly expands to the size of a horse and has to be re-housed in the local loch. Crusoe is small creature (for the first few weeks), part dog, part giraffe and part who-knows-what emerges, he hides it … (0 comments)

Flushed Away - Movie Review - 04/12/09 11:18 PM
The story in "Flushed Away" is simple and not particularly original, but it's told cleverly (with a screenplay by five writers and direction by animation veterans David Bowers and Sam Fell), with daffy British humor, split-second sight gags and smart dialogue.
Roddy (voice of Hugh Jackman), a pet mouse in an upscale London apartment has his life interrupted by the arrival of a sewer rat named Sid. Adding to his vexation: While trying to flush Sid down the toilet, Roddy gets himself flushed instead. I guess if it isn't one thing, it's another, when you're a pet mouse.
The upper-class Roddy … (0 comments)

Springtime Is The BEST Time To Winterize Your Home
When I first moved into my house I was oblivious to the fact that homes need to be winterized. As a result my first winter there was a very cold one and my heating cost went thru the roof. I was able to do a few things here and there but the major things could not be done as they require to be done on the outside of the house.
First thing is first. You should have a professional home inspection performed.

Give Your Fixtures A Nice Luster Before A Showing - 04/12/09 10:50 PM
Give Your Fixtures A Nice Luster Before A Showing
I would say update depending on the condition of the plumbing and fixtures. It may just need to be polished up with a little bit of Brasso to give it that showroom shine (the fixtures of course).
There are several good reasons to make sure all of your plumbing and fixtures look good and are in good working order before putting your home up for sale. When potential buyers come to look at your home, they are likely to turn on faucets and flush toilets "just to see". This is no time … (0 comments)
